MPs on the Transport Committee unanimously passed a motion on Monday asking for Transport Minister Omar Alghabra to testify before them to address airport delays and flight cancellations.

“It’s our view that the minister should address the critical issues facing our airports so that Canadians can understand that the government is doing anything to fix the mess and not simply waiting out the height of peak travel season in an effort to further abdicate their responsibility,” said Conservative MP and transport critic Melissa Lantsman during a very brief remote committee meeting.
